Sharing The Grief - Corlene Van Sluizer

[Larry Robinson]

Sharing The Grief
 
She held her heart
She held all hearts
In grief on the globe
It is too much suffering
For one heart
So she takes a piece
You take a piece
I take a piece
 
All who have more
Privileges and blessings
Take a piece
And in this holding
And sharing
Maybe, just maybe
We can provide some
Salve for those
In the trenches
Who taste the blood
In their mouths
Who see the
Limbs scattered in the dust
Who know the loss of their
Children and loved ones
It is not much to ask
One piece of it
In our hearts
To hold with love and words
